Read those labels with care! Lately, you may have noticed a series of hieroglyphics popping up on your laundryâs care labels. Where once, sage words like, âMachine wash warm, tumble dry low,â informed your laundering decisions, now youâre greeted with a cryptic symbol.
Defining philosophy is as difficult as trying to define love. The word philosophy is not much help. Philosophy is a combination of two Greek words, philein sophia, meaning lover of wisdom. In ancient times a lover of wisdom could be related to any area where intelligence was expressed. This could be in business, politics, human relations, or carpentry and other skills.
The word philosophy comes from two roots, philo and Sophia, which mean love and Wisdom.. Thus philosophy is the love of wisdom and, in actual practice, the pursuit, study of, and enquiry into wisdom. Some great philosophers have called philosophy the art of thinking; others have described it as the systematic study of human thought and feeling.
